Which President was overturned by Supreme Court in Brown v Board of Education?

The US Supreme Court overturned the "separate but equal" precedent established in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), when they declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954).
A precedent is a court decision used as a model for future decisions. In 1896, the Supreme Court decided racial segregation was constitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment, as long as African-Americans were provided equal services and facilities (which rarely happened). The courts upheld the precedent established in Plessy for nearly 60 years.
Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) had nothing to do with overturning a US President, but the two words (precedent and president) are often confused.
